It's going to depend on people's behaviour between now and then and to be honest, those who want the restrictions lifted, are doing themselves a disservice every time they encourage people that it's all grand now and you should prepare for some big change in May. (there won't be big change in May in any case incidentally so I don't know where that opinion comes from) Because human nature is more and more people will take risks before then in anticipation and this goes on to threaten lives of the most vulnerable. It's not a good signal to be giving at this time.

That will also put people off Sure what's the point?

you can't expect people to sit on their hands for weeks and weeks beyond that timeframe

Kermit.de.frog wrote: » This point makes no sense. The incubation period of the disease has no bearing at all on the lock down measures (it's not actually a "lock down" - bit of an over dramatisation) Why not? You're not being asked to go to war, you are being asked to watch television.
